                    Man, high level athletes really should consider going veggie or vegan

                      She's going down the Trump route of implausibility plus racism:

                      “We concluded that the most likely explanation was a burrito purchased and consumed approximately 10 hours before that drug test from an authentic Mexican food truck that serves pig offal near my house in Beaverton, Oregon,” Houlihan wrote. “I notified the AIU that I believed this was the source.”

                      She wants you to believe that Mexican pork is dodgy even though she willingly chose to consume it. Since CAS has already thrown this out, you'd think she'd withdraw with some grace.

                      [Boyfriend: "Shelby, let's disrupt your carefully controlled diet in an Olympic year by buying a burrito from that van."

                      Shelby: "Mmmm, not sure"

                      BF: "Oh, go on!"

                      Shelby: "OK, just this once. I'm sure there will be no testing just before the Olympic trials."]

                        Hopefully this will go down in legend as 'the offal defence'

                          You are offal but I like your defence.

                              I love a burrito after an intense workout. Protein from the meat, potassium from the avocado, a little bit of carb from the tortilla. And it's absolutely massive so you end up feeling thoroughly replete. I am sure that sports science is fully on board with my logic.

                                ursus shared it on the Cycling thread but I guess it goes here too, for the record:
                                Training files are taken and bus searched, team confirm, as investigation is launched by French authorities

                                  I've not been following closely for a little while - is Bahrain-Victorious the WT team (the team that was Bahrain-Merida and, going back a bit further, Lampre)?

                                    Ah no, that's the UAE team isn't it. This one was new?

                                      Houlihan’s excuse for failing drugs test close to 0% chance.

                                      CAS - “It is rather difficult for an uncastrated pig to ‘slip through’ the multiple checkpoints. In principle, boars can be easily detected because of their big testicles.”

                                        Very late answer, but yes Bahrain Victorious (née Bahrain Merida, ex Bahrain McLaren) is a newish team that joined the World Tour in 2017.

                                                Are darts and snooker the only two sports with no drug cheating at all?

                                                    A couple of darts players have been banned for cocaine use (most famously, former BDO World Champion, Richie Burnett a couple of years back), but not for performance enhancing that I can imagine.
